If you had fillings placed years ago, you know what an amalgam filling can do for your smile. While these dark metal fillings improve oral health and stop tooth decay from spreading, they also create obvious dark blot in an otherwise white smile. Furthermore, amalgams contain trace amounts of mercury, a hazardous heavy metal. Dr. Perkins uses composite resin to repair tooth decay.
Composite resin, tooth-colored fillings are durable, long lasting, and esthetic. In fact, because Dr. Perkins can tint the liquid resin to match your tooth, you probably won’t even notice the filling when you look in the mirror!
Tooth decay will only get worse if left untreated, but with composite resin fillings, you can enjoy improved oral health and beauty. Our Malibu dentist’s office cares for patients from across the Malibu and San Francisco area area, so call today to schedule your visit with Dr. Perkins.
